mmhm. 2 barrels. people said it couldnt be done. well, they were wrong. if you need any explanations, dont hesitate to post.
a .gif would be good aswell.
this is a WIP from my current main mod, but i figured it was notable enough to release.

no credits needed, all my code and sprites (ugly as hell though they may be)

UPDATE: added documentation to devices.ini
thanks to those currently enjoying this.

Tried it out. 2 barrels feel good, nice demonstration.

Care to make a 20 barrel MG just for the heck of it :D ?

Well, it's impossible to make a 21-barreled flamethrower << *cough*


Nicely done, though. Must have taken a good bit of tinkering around to get it done just right.

i cant as of yet, the gun uses tracers for each bullet. as we only have 2 tracers.. the maximum is 2 barrels for now.
sorry ^^"
if i do find a way to make more, ill do so. i might be able to get 3 by using the bullet shells, and because of that i might be able to use the tracer shells for 4 barrels maximum, but thats all for tonight.. maybe that suggestion from a while ago for a 3 barreled flamethrower might just happen..
im glad it feels satisfying for you, i like the effect you get from firing one shot at a time, but thats just me.

@ragdoll: not too much, but i did have trouble initially with the gun destroying itself. glad you like it.
i just thought it was time it got done.

NOTICE: the code is now commented. everyone should understand. for those that have already DL'd, you probably dont need it, but itll clear it up if you dont understand something.

Very nice, and a pretty fun weapon. If you can do it with the casings too, that means you can make a 4 pixel-wide lazer...

*Solace gets to work.

Couldn't we, in theory, do an infinite number of barrels by having the gun fire emitters that fire emitters, which fire the projectiles?

Or have the muzzleflash have atttached emitters.

Example, the DSTech Chain Saw'D.

It works, but I thought it had that stacking problem, either I'm hallucinating, or the last time I used it, it didn't stack.

Apparently CaveCricket is faster than me. :P Well, congrats to Geti for making proper lazers possible! Using a 9-pixel high one right now. :D

glad i could help ;)

and yes, grif, in fact you could avoid the whole issue with stacking by attaching emitters to the muzzleflash on the emitter used for the bullets. that would work well.

The stacking thing should be totally fixed, I bugged Data about it just before build 22.

Apparently it was due to some internal variables not getting reset when the emitter reappeared.

Good work Geti the code was a nice read :)
